Last Friday 27, we had a very special guest. Svetlana, a teacher from Russia, came to our school to tell us a lot of things about her country, Russia, and its capital, Moscow. She showed us a very interesting presentation and we learned many things. 5th and 6th grade pupils asked her a lot of questions in English and Svetlana shared her kindness with us. Thank you, Svetlana!

We learned about Conquistadors and Aztecs. We watched a video and filled out some worksheets about ancient Mexico. We learned about Moctezuma, Hernan Cortez (the conqueror of Mexico) or Francisco Pizarro (the conqueror of the incan empire).

Every country has got its own tales. We watched a video in English about a Mexican folktale. It told us the tale of Rosa, a young girl forced to marry a mysterious bear after her father cuts down the trees of a sacred forest.
